Norfolk County OPP say two people suffered life-altering injuries following a crash between a motorcycle and a van near Port Dover.
Police say the vehicles collided shortly after 1 p.m. on Thursday at the intersection of Highway 6 and St. John’s Road East, an area just northeast of Port Dover.
Police say the driver and passenger of the motorcycle were both taken to a local hospital and then airlifted to a Hamilton-area hospital to be treated for life-altering injuries.
The driver of the van was taken to a local hospital “for precautionary measures,” police said.
The crash forced OPP to close the intersection for several hours on Thursday, but the roadway reopened just after 9 p.m.
